President Donald Trump on Sunday signed coronavirus pandemic stimulus legislation that includes $600 payments to most Americans. Some had pushed for payments of $1,200 or more.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has no sense of reality of people that make $75000 or less. Many do not live in the real world.. do hgt see the lines for food and hardships. Sad.

The economy needs the boost. Every free country in the world has done WAY more for their citizens. Great Britain and Canada have been issuing $1,200 a month checks to their citizens since March 2020. WHY DOES THIS COUNTRY DO MORE FOR OTHERS THEN IT DOES FOR ITS OWN PEOPLE? US FIRST FOR A CHANGE!

The federal government sent out an initial round of $1,200 payments back in March in a package that cost trillions of dollars, pushing the budget deficit higher. The $600 represents a compromise with legislators who didn't want to send personal payments at all. Show Less

Because it directly affects disabled and vulnerable populations, people with arfid, People who are trying to buy birthday cakes for their children, people who have disabilities who cannot easily make foods, people who have autism who have safe foods, people with diabetes. It's not right to police us

42 million people get an avg. of $178 per month of food that is paid for by the other 295 million Americans that work for a living.

The poor/lower middle class aren't the problem, it's the billionaires. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down (Voodoo Economics) the bottom 90% of the population held about a third of the wealth and the 0.7% about 7% .... fast forward to today and the top 0.7% have MORE wealth than the bottom 90%!

Denzel McVeigh

No because there are a lot of people that need those sodas those candies whatever for reasons like oh I don't know to raise their blood sugar up when it gets super low. It's such a misconception and some more false narrative bullshit by these dumbass Republicans like Mike kehoe and Donald Trump.

Fred

Even more socialist actions by Trump?
